When Jesse Shwayder founded Samsonite in Denver in 1910, travel was reserved for a few wealthy people who had the means to see the world. Because of this, great care was taken with transportation and service, as well as the luggage used to carry their possessions. Samsonite was one of the first luggage brands and has always been known for its craftsmanship and innovation, for providing thoughtful, stylish and quality solutions to all travel problems.
Meanwhile, the family-owned company has become a dynamic and world-leading luggage company with several strong brands.
